AI Forward Deployed Engineer

This is a high-autonomy role where you design and build AI agent systems for client engagements. You will own the full delivery loop from requirements to release, working solo on real projects. The role requires 5+ years of software engineering experience and 1+ years building custom AI agents.

• Own requirements shaping directly with the client, covering BA, PO, and UX work yourself.
• Design and write the project’s own AI agents and skills (Codex, Claude Code or comparable), not just prompt off-the-shelf tools.
• Choose and combine agents, skills, and models to fit the project’s business and technical goals, and keep evolving that setup as the project changes.
• Own the full SDLC and ship working software through that agent setup.
• Unblock large, messy backlogs fast.
• Make scope and trade-off calls that balance release dates against technical decisions, without waiting for an architect or PO.
• Represent the company’s AI delivery capability to the client, including under scrutiny.
• Stay ahead on new agentic tools and practices, and bring them back to the company.

• 5+ years in software engineering or delivery, with ongoing client-facing responsibility.
• 1+ years of hands-on experience building custom agents and skills for real delivery work, with concrete examples of an agent setup you designed and what it shipped.
• A proven ability to cut scope to hit a release, and to explain why.
• Solid engineering fundamentals, enough to make and defend technical calls live and alone.
• A track record of delivering against hard deadlines with incomplete inputs.
• Nice to have: A prior FDE or embedded-consultant role.
• Nice to have: An architecture background.
• Nice to have: Healthcare, fintech, or manufacturing domain experience.
